I feel as though there's a lot less support for RB. Loop recording is such a game changer in this program, rather than having to move over to a DAW. Comping solos right in RB saves a bunch of time.

I really think that it's important to do video tutorials about features that are in both RB as well as BIAB, but look different. I can't figure out ACW and manual bar placement in RB, although there is a great video on how to do this in BIAB.

+++a million.

ive been asking for videos for a looong time...particularly bearing in mind for new users getting their heads round things.

as you discovered Funk there are many groovy
and unique features in rb...but so many new pg users dont boot up rb cos they assume they should use bb.
whereas after a time if one gets into rb one realises it has various features that even bb doesnt have. eg handling fractional tempos and odd time signatures and many other tricks..
(see my posts/tips in pg tips forum includeing fancy free plugins saveing one a ton of money.)

btw re acw try this trick....on a fast song and cos i'm vision impaired what i do is ...
import into rb any song already slowed down by
50 per cent. on a fast song it makes it easier to set bar lines.

glad your seeing the plusses of rb.
its highly underestimated imho.
i keep om coming back to it after trying other music apps.

ps there are various tricks to discover re audio/midi track editing in rb.
for s's and giggles also muck around with duplicating tracks...THE LOOONG RIGHT CLICK OVER A TRACK
MENU HAS A PLETHORA OF NICE FEATURES.
lots of funky tricks to discover.

have a great happy new year.

I'm not sure what you mean by "already slowed down by 50 percent". You mean slow the sound file to half speed before importing into RB?
